This is slightly OT for PUG Style. But I just had to post about it. I have already written and posted pics to my Facebook and Flickr pages. Ari Seth Cohen is a fashion blogger and photographer who has both a blog and a book called Advance Style. The premise of his work is pretty basic. He celebrates older women who dress with style, flair and creativity. When I say older women I am not talking about women over thirty. I am talking about women in their sixties, seventies, eighties and so on. I was able to go to a book signing he did here in the LA area this past Saturday at a wonderful little boutique called Koi in South Pasadena. The women who came to the event were all beautiful and all stylish. It was truly inspiring. It was such a joy to meet Mr Cohen and to have him sign the copy of the book that I bought. I met some really fabulous and inspiring people at the event. In the photo collage on the left is a pic of me with one of the women featured in the book, Debra Rapoport. In the middle is Ari Seth Cohen and myself. And then finally is my new friend, Bliss who designs and sells handbags.

I usually only post pics here of me wearing PUG clothing. But this was a unique situation. I am wearing a Bernie Dexter dress. Oh, I must say that I am totally dissatisfied with how my hair looks here. I am wearing a new hair accessory made for me by Brandi Shuey but, sorry to say, it is not shown very well in these pics. But I am totally happy with the whole experience.
